AuctionBytes the online bible, with its guides to buying and selling
and all the complicated and sometimes controversial ways to do so more
competitively."

"There is not much I can say about this free
newsletter, except if you buy or sell online -- Why aren't you on the
subscriber list? A no-holds barred look at online auctions, including
legal, fraud, shipping, and selling issues. If this sounds boring to
you -- it's not! I learn something every time I read an issue. It might
be a link I was not aware of, a new service being offered or a way to
stop image theft."
